Opportunity Scholarship
We created our Opportunity Scholarship for undocumented students who live in states where they effectively have no access to college – either because they face paying out-of-state tuition or because their state will simply not admit them into its universities. We call these locked-out states.
You may be eligible for the Opportunity Scholarship if you live in one of these locked-out states:
- Alabama
- Alaska
- Arkansas
- Georgia
- Idaho
- Indiana
- Iowa
- Louisiana
- Maine
- Massachusetts
- Mississippi
- Missouri
- Montana
- New Hampshire
- North Carolina
- North Dakota
- Ohio
- South Carolina
- South Dakota
- Vermont
- West Virginia
- Wisconsin
- Wyoming
The Opportunity Scholarship Award will cover your tuition, fees, on-campus housing, and meals at one of our Partner Colleges out of state up to a maximum of $80,000 for a bachelor’s degree.
The award follows students through the completion of a bachelor’s degree and is renewable each year – Recipients must meet the continuing eligibility criteria, including continuous full-time enrollment, and renew the award each summer.
If you live in one of the locked-out states, you may choose to attend one of these Partner Colleges in another state:
